Troubleshooting
Lamp shade doesn't sit straight or securely.
Ensure the internal ring of the lamp shade is properly aligned with your light fitting's bulb holder. If your fitting has a threaded collar, make sure it is tightened securely over the shade. Check if the bulb is seated correctly and not obstructing the shade's position.
The light appears too dim or too bright.
The Reni shade diffuses light to create a warm glow. If it's too dim, try a higher wattage LED bulb (within your fixture's recommended limit) or a bulb with a higher lumen output. If too bright, switch to a lower wattage or a 'warm white' or 'soft white' bulb with a lower lumen output. Experiment with different bulb color temperatures to achieve your desired ambiance.
Velvet exterior looks flattened or creased.
Gently brush the affected area of the velvet with a soft clothes brush or a clean, soft toothbrush in the direction of the pile. For stubborn creases, a light steam from a handheld garment steamer (held at a distance) can sometimes help, but proceed with extreme caution and test on an hidden area first. Avoid direct contact with water or heat.
